In this beautiful book of classic fairy tales, award-winning author
Philip Pullman has chosen his fifty favourite stories from the
Brothers Grimm and presents them in a'clear as water' retelling, in
his unique and brilliant voice. From the quests and romance of
classics such as 'Rapunzel', 'Snow White' and 'Cinderella' to the
danger and wit of such lesser-known tales as 'The Three Snake
Leaves', 'Hans-my-Hedgehog' and 'Godfather Death', Pullman brings
the heart of each timeless tale to the fore, following with a brief
but fascinating commentary on the story's background and history.
In his introduction, he discusses how these stories have lasted so
long, and become part of our collective storytelling imagination.
These new versions show the adventures at their most lucid and
engaging yet. Pullman's Grimm Tales of wicked wives, brave children
and villainous kings will have you reading, reading aloud and
rereading them for many years to come.
